What is the INCI name and how should this green mandarin oil be labelled?
The INCI name is Citrus Reticulata (Tangerine) Peel Oil. That is the name you must use on cosmetic ingredient lists in the EU, USA, and most markets that follow INCI. For perfumery, the same raw material is usually declared as Green Mandarin Oil.
